I had a look at the RTA website and only
"forwards facing" ornaments and protrusions are illegal. Items such as
spotlight mounts on bullbars, fishing racks, etc must be removed when they are
finished with.
But I couldn't find anything on "bonnet pins" as
such.
Now in some classes of racing it is mandatory to
install bonnet pins as a secondary method of bonnet fastening, and in the same
class of racing you must also be road registered.
I think it's an "IFFY" kind of situation and its
borderline legal.
You are right though, but think that anybody who
is hit by a car is gunna be more worried about their broken legs than a cut on
their chest.

mate as far as i know you cant use bonnet pins
legally.
its cause when you hit a pedestrian it cuts them up
(i said when not if :))
thats why they got rid of hood
ornaments
Jeff
Anyone know the legalities of using bonnet
pins on a road registered car in NSW?
My problem is I got an intercooler in the way
and had to take the bonnect latch off.
What other legal ways are there to hold the
bonnet
down???
